Channel 9 was a Microsoft website for hosting videos and podcasts that Microsoft employees create.[1]

Launched in 2004 when Microsoft's corporate reputation was at a low,

PR department.[3] The Channel 9 team produced interviews with Bill Gates, Erik Meijer, and Mark Russinovich.[citation needed
]

On November 5, 2021, it was announced that Microsoft would merge Channel 9 into Microsoft Learn.[4] The move was completed on December 1, effectively rendering the original site defunct. However, past videos from the former site can still be seen there.[5]

Channel 9, however, was not a community website and did not host any content made by the community.

FlexWiki. The wiki had been used to provide ad hoc feedback to Microsoft teams, such as the Internet Explorer team.[7]
